Jonathan Bailey's "remarkable" and "sweeping" period drama is streaming now on Channel 4

Fellow Travelers, the period drama mini-series starring Wicked and Jurassic World Rebirth's Jonathan Bailey, has found itself a new streaming home in the UK. After the first two episodes aired on Channel 4 last night, it is now available in full on Channel 4's streaming service.

That means that you'll be to stream it for absolutely free, although there is an ad-free Channel 4+ tier at £3.99 a month or £39.99 a year.

The show premiered on Paramount+ in 2023, and is still available.

If you enjoyed watching the show the old-fashioned way last night, we've got some bad news. Although the first two episodes aired from 10pm yesterday, the rest of the episodes will be airing on TV across the next 10 days in the very early hours of the morning.

Beginning in the 1950s, the show follows the decades-long relationship between two men, with Bailey as a congressional staffer and Matt Bomer as a World War II veteran.

The show was a big critical success when it released, with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 90% positive from 75 collected reviews.

The New Yorker called the show a "remarkable" period drama and called the chemistry between the two leads "satisfyingly unpredictable and magnificently erotic".

Veteran critic Richard Roeper said that the show "resonates as a sweeping love story full of joy and pain", while CNN said: "Anchored by its strong lead performances, Fellow Travelers delivers a closing emotional wallop."

"A glossy Hollywood production, with romantic music and handsome people delivering their lines with widescreen energy", reads the Los Angeles Times review. "And as a glossy Hollywood production about gay life is... still enough of a rarity that one is happy to find it exists."

Fellow Travelers can be streamed on Channel 4 as well as Paramount+.
